sean smith's mom, who we've had on several times, if someone had said to her right away, mrs. you wrong. we left your son out there, it was a mistake. we should have had these sign, all of the intelligence was telling us we needed to be more beefed up, and we were not, and we were wrong. >> i think we would have been better off, but i also think something else. i think that we as a country would have been better off if the president had called for unity, had not said it was a film that really didn't have any impact if it existed at all in any serious way. if there had been an effort to produce a bipartisan response to fight terror and to get to the bottom of what really happened. i think we would have been better off. right now, as monica suggests, we're still if a political firestorm that redounds to nobody's benefit and weakens america and puts us more at risk. martha: what you're putting your finger on is what the president's critics often say, and that is that everything's political. and, you know, not sort of rising above the politics and being presidential some would say

here is a sound bite of uncle of sean smith to lost his life that day in benghazi. >> we need one body, we need one body that has one point of focus that can really get to the truth. we need real truth and accountability. it has been missing in action. gregg: is doug right? boehner is making a mistake here by not appointing a select committee? >> there should be a select committee. doug is right. american people have the right to know. hillary clinton needs to be in the seat and testify under oath. the fact she was not deposed when the president had his quote, unquote, joint investigation, bipartisan commission is an outrage. the fact that pickering did not see the benefit of her testimony when he was in charge of that office. especially in light of gates' book where we know president and hillary were engaged in making political decisions against the best interests of the american people. this is another evidence of the fact it is more likely than not that political decisions were made on the heels of a reelect was selfishly made. we know that in light of the surge

have learned a great deal about what happened in benghazi that fateful night when chris stevens, sean smith, glenn dawetry, were murdered in our facility. they worked to build peaceful relationships met with brutality. while we have some answers, i grow weary of asking many questions over and over again in hearings, letters, and on this floor to get some very basic answers for the families and the american people. let me some of those questions past us again. it was known within the state department that at the highest level that neither facility in libya -- neither facility in libya, one in tripoli, or benghazi met the minimum physical security standards set after our embassy was attacked in kenya in 1998. who made the decision to put so many american diplomats in facilities that did not meet that standard? that same question is asked yesterday by a senate committee against report asking the same question. who made the decision to put people in facilities we knew did not meet the minimum security standards? the embassy had access to additional military personnel for security and training.

the families of ambassador stevens, sean smith, tyrone woods and glenn daugherty deserve better from this country. they deserve more from this president. and with that in mind, i think i just want to make a simple and very respectful request of the president. i simply ask that he take the opportunity during his state of the union speech on tuesday, january 28 to give those families and all americans the whole story. mr. president, i simply ask that you be forthright with the american people. help us get beyond this tragedy. help us restore confidence and faith for our personnel living overseas, serving overseas and in harm's way that the sacred bond of always having their back is not gone. yesterday i had the opportunity to speak with 40 young marines, all second lieutenants who are just about to finish the basic school at quantico, virginia. they're going to be great officers. i hope someday some of them will be senators and congressmen. i looked each one of them in their eyes and let them know, because they needed to know, that a bipartisan majority in this senate has not forgotten

who killed ambassador chris stevens, sean smith and our two former navy seals, who killed them? who killed glen daugherty, who killed ty woods? who blew off much of the leg of david? i think it's a legitimate question. ut this libyan man i met said, you keep asking in america who killed these people, you ought to be asking why they were killed. that's certainly an important question. and i know our former secretary of state said, what difference at this point does it make, but i think this libyan man's right. we need to be asking why were they killed. and it certainly wasn't about a video and i know we've got some newspapers that are losing viewership so -- or readership so they're trying as best they can before people completely quit reading it to help their next candidate for president. i get that. i understand. but the fact is these were radical islamists, al qaeda-related people in the group, there was never a demonstration, it was an attack from the very beginning, just as chris stevens called it and greg hicks pointed out, we're under attack. there was no indication of a d

and patricia smith is looking for answers. her son, sean, was killed in the attack. thank you very much for coming. >> thank you. >> all those hearings, patricia, we haven't gotten any clear answer. what do you think? >> well, asked all the questions. they're just not doing answers and they're letting it go by. they don't care. >> do you think that this win very high up, there was a deliberate look of clear oversight and they just botched it and just not admitting it? >> that could be. don't know the reasons hind it. you guys should find out. i do know that they asked for help, they did not receive help. i would like to know the reason why didn't get help. what is the reasoning behind that? there's got to be a reason why no help was sent after eight requests. and then the only person that could answer this is hillary, and she won't talk, and nobody will make her, and then she is going to run for president. whoopee. >> what do you think of that? >> well, i do not want her to be president. she makes terrible decisions and then doesn't explain why she tide what she did,
